There are 3 options to choose from in advertising. 1/4 page 1/2 page and 1 full page. We chose these limited space sizes because we didn’t want our magazine to be saturated with advertisers but allow our partner advertisers to stand out. We are selective in allowing a certain number of business advertisers per category so you can dominate the marketplace!
